Official autopsy results show that Michael Brown was shot at close range in the hand and had been using marijuana at the time he was shot.
Two experts not involved in the case interpreted the documents for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The documents were originally prepared by the St. Louis County medical examiner, Dr. Michael Graham, and were not part of the official investigation.
Graham told the newspaper that the report 'does support that there was a significant altercation at the car.' This is in line with a source who told investigators that Brown struggled for Wilson's pistol inside his vehicle and Wilson fired the gun twice-once in the hand-before firing more shots that would kill Brown.
Sources also informed the Post-Dispatch that Brown's blood was found on Wilson's gun and Brown's skin tissue was on the driver's side of Wilson's vehicle.
A toxicology test was performed by St. Louis University laboratory and found tetrahydrocannabinol, THC, in Brown's blood and urine.
Most details from the official autopsy back up the family's private autopsy performed by nationally noted forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden. Baden, however, concluded that none of Brown's wounds appeared to have been from close-range shots.
Details have not been revealed from the third autopsy, which was separately ordered by federal officials.
